(Don't forget to click the "Daily Box Office" tabs at the top for more meaningful information.)

Keep in mind that, due to inflation, the money of 1991 was "worth more" than the money of 2003 (which in itself was "worth more" than the money of 2009.) That increases the impressiveness of T2's revenue.

T2 essentially doubled its budget in the US alone.
T3 didn't meet it's budget in the US (fell short by 25%).
T4 is earning less money than T3 was, and is doing so when a ticket "costs slightly more money."

T3 and T4 have increased the budget from T2 while yielding poorer profits. (Good observation by Mister Fahr.)
Warner Bros won't be happy.

"1. Switch gross and budget figures,
2. ???
3. Profit?"

"It's not just because people were highly critical of it.

Wolverine was released a month early on the internet, then scathed by fans and critics.
It was also released a few days early in the international market, to be scathed by fans and critics.
But when it finally debuted in the US, it still made a truck load of money (though probably not what Marvel/FOX wanted)... and was scathed by fans and critics.

I don't think Salvation has got anywhere near the amount of diehard fan hatred that Wolverine got, even if it's critical response is pretty similar.

There's more to this poor gross than poor reviews...
Like Ben Stiller... "
